Former Notre Dame walk-on tight end Barret Liebentritt<\/a><\/strong> will continue his college football career elsewhere. On Saturday, Liebentritt announced he would join the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the 2023 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people are what make Notre Dame special and I\u2019m thankful for the lifelong relationships I\u2019ve formed with my teammates,\u201d he continued. \u201cNotre Dame will always hold a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that being said, I\u2019m excited to announce that I\u2019ll be coming home to play fullback at Nebraska. Thank you to (head) Coach (Matt) Rhule<\/a><\/strong> and the staff for the opportunity. I can\u2019t wait to get to work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
